Questions & Answers

1. The solicitation summary information on the Fed Biz Ops site indicates the Past Performance Worksheets and Questionnaires are due to the contracting office by 3:00 pm CST on Monday, 19 April 2010, yet the second to last paragraph (page 4) of Attachment 7 indicates they are due this Friday, 16 April 2010 by 3:00 pm CST. Which is correct?

Past Performance worksheets and questionnaires are due Monday, 19 Apr 2010 by 3:00 pm CST.

2. The same paragraph indicates the Past Performance forms should be e-mailed or faxed, yet paragraph 3 on page 3 indicates they must be submitted as hardcopy plus (3) copies AND two (2) electronic copies on CD-ROMs and those had to be on a separate CD-ROM from the Technical Proposal and Price Proposal. Given the purpose of the Paperwork Reduction Act (U.S. Code, Title 44, Chapter 35), is it safe to assume that the Past Performance Documents may be submitted by e-mail or fax?

A copy of the completed Past Performance Worksheets (Attach 7a) and Past Performance Questionnaires (Attach 7b) shall be emailed or faxed no later than 3:00 PM CST on Monday, 19 Apr 2010. In addition, one (1) hardcopy of the Past Performance Worksheets AND two (2) electronic copies on CD-ROMs shall be provided via mail no later than 3:00 PM CST on Friday, 30 Apr 2010. Submitted CD-ROMs containing Past Performance Information shall be submitted separately from CD-ROMs containing the Technical Proposal and Price Proposal.

3. According to the information, it appears that funds have been set aside for veterans, disable veterans, and small businesses. I am inquiring if in order to be able to compete in this bidding process, is it required that the veteran's status be a "disable veteran."

This acquisition is being set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) only.

4. The solicitation does not indicate a date for Q&A responses nor a method for response. Please provide information regarding Q&A responses. Responses are necessary for the timely submission of Past Performance Questionnaires and Past Performance Worksheet submission.

5. Regarding the PWS Addendums in Attachments 3, 4, 5, 6. Are responders required to provide answers to these addendums and if so, are these answers included in the 40 page requirement of the technical response?
